Cant Take Another Earthquake

C

[Verse 1]
             C                   C
It's the beginning of British Summer
 Time
       C                        C
The clocks go forward and the nights
 get light
   F
The full moon, one week ago
     C
Had quite an effect on things at 
home
    G
We all know full moons make things 
weird
                              C
It hasn't been this close for years

[Chorus]
                    F
And the moon went full
                   C
On a world gone crazy
          G
Safe to say
                     C
We can't take another earthquake
               F
A great big wave
                C
And a nuclear disaster
                      G
There's nothing we can do
                        C
But throw a tomahawk at Libya
               F          G       
You might not think these things 
   C
are linked
         F        G        C
It's definitely worth a think

[Verse 2]
            C                   
And we're told to think that the 
  C
world's a mess

And no one really knows what to 
suggest
     F
We read about the tragedy every day 
in the paper
           C
While we travel to work to keep 
paying our taxes
      G                       G
Help fund the country, help fund the
 war
Where everybody's scared of losing 
         C
their jobs

[Chorus]
                    F
And the moon went full
                   C
On a world gone crazy
          G
Safe to say
                     C
We can't take another earthquake
               F
A great big wave
                C
And a nuclear disaster

                        C
But throw a tomahawk at Libya
               F          G       
You might not think these things 
   C
are linked
         F        G        C
It's definitely worth a think

I could manually put in the chord 
changes at each part of the Kae 
Tempest rap, but I've had a decent 
amount of
rum and frankly the progression 
doesn't really change so you can 
probably figure it out (if you even 
wanna do
it)

[Verse 3: Kae Tempest]

C
Me and the moon, we are one and the 
same
It's winking at me when I wander 
through rain
The oceans move in, and pull to high
 tides
We act fucking mental but can't work
 out why

F
So much of us water, we ought to 
take count
For the forces that pull us to 
pieces, shout

C
For the species alone and the grip 
of the present
Screaming our secrets to the arc of 
the crescent

G
Me and you sat there watching it, 
smiling
Moon sinks away beneath the horizon
We nod at each other, this must be 
the reason
The world went nuts when we should 
           C
have been sleeping

And the moon went full
(And the moon went full)

         C
But instead we were creeping the 
town
With our feet in a clouds
No need for speaking out loud
We watch as it sinks
The things that we think
Could be explained by the drinks
                  F
But more to the point we are 
creatures of nature
Ripped half to shreds by the deviant
 nature
    C
Hounding ourselves into blossoms and
 bloom
    G
Never forget the effect of the moon
(Never forget the effect of the 
moon)
    C
No never forget the effect of the 
moon

[Chorus]
                    F
And the moon went full
                   C
On a world gone crazy
          G
Safe to say
                     C
We can't take another earthquake
               F
A great big wave
                C
And a nuclear disaster
                      G
There's nothing we can do
                        C
But throw a tomahawk at Libya
               F          G       
You might not think these things 
   C
are linked
         F        G        C
It's definitely worth a think

[Verse 4]
   C         C
And that's okay
           C
Because we're British
  C
And don't you know
  C
We've got the Olympics
     F
It cost us a fortune
       F
We've been building for years
                  C
A running track only a few people 
will use
          G
You think that that's a waste of 
spending?
Wait till you hear about the royal 
 C
wedding

                        F
And the wedding bells ring

(And the wedding bells ring)
                 C
Across broken Britain
                G
You wanna be a king?

(You wanna be a king?)
                      C
You best bring us a kingdom
           F
Not a celebrity

(Celebrity)
                  C
And a newspaper scandal
                   G
There's nothing we can do

(No there's nothing we can do)
                         C
It's just diverting our attention
                F       G        C
Cause there's bigger things at stake
        F          G      C
Than a slice of wedding cake
